What is Yoga Therapy?
“Yoga Therapy is a burgeoning field of professional practice that emphasizes personalized, one-on-one therapeutic care. It’s aim is to provide holistic support for a wide variety of life’s many challenges.
Yoga Therapists, informed by the intelligence of the practice of yoga, skilfully witness and accompany clients and patients, in the realm of life shatterings, grief, injuries, trauma and disease. Instead of a prescriptive model or established protocol, the emphasis is on the dynamic holistic health and agency of each unique client.”
(The School of Embodied Yoga Therapy)
What Does a Yoga Therapy Session Involve?
Your first session is an intake session in which our main goal is to get to know each other. We will discuss the factors relating to your overall health, your intention in seeking yoga therapy, and some potential possibilities for working together.
Generally, following sessions begin with a co-assessment to explore how you are feeling in the moment. Typically, this assessment seeks to gain mutual understanding of your nervous system state. Then, we explore yoga practices that are responsive to your needs. Yoga practices can include movement, meditation, breath practices, guided rest, yoga philosophy applications and more. This process is a co-creation, meaning that your responses, limitations and preferences are deeply respected & inform the direction and pace. Based on our sessions, we may explore practices and tools to incorporate into daily life between sessions when desired (recordings available).
